Guest Post: My Favorite Childhood Books by K.

My students are doing various projects based around reading and books.  One of my least self confident readers asked if he could put together a top ten list of his favorite childhood books to share with you.  Then he freaked out about how overwhelming the assignment felt, so I offered to sit down and be his scribe while he perused Goodreads to job his memory.  

Without further ado, here it is!

1. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney.  I read it when I was nine, and it was the first book in the series.

2. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss.  I liked that it was a tongue twister.

3. Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.

4. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  I liked how the book had holes in it where he ate.

5. The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary.  I loved this book!  

6. The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss

7. Curious George by H.A Ray

8. A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein I liked it because it had a bunch of riddles.

9. Horton Hears a Who by Dr. Seuss. I liked that he was trying to protect a little town.

10. No, David by David Shannon.  I used to be able to relate to him (but I was a little bit better).
